Four pet food companies have recalled products over threat of salmonella contamination.

This potential contamination poses a threat not only to the pets eating it, but also to humans whose hands come in contact with it.

Salmonella contamination symptoms:

  • Feeling lethargic
  • Fever
  • Body aches
  • Nausea
  • Vomiting
  • Adominal cramping
  • Diarrhea

According to the FDA, two people have picked up salmonella from the Raw for Paws product listed below. Typically a person or pet affected with salmonella experiences symptoms for a week. Hospitalization and medical treatment can be necessary if symptoms become severe.

The FDA recommends washing your hands after handling your pet’s food.
